Undoubtedly, having the opportunity to learn under [[Mulla Hadi Sabzevari]] after being benefitted from the classes of [[al-Shaykh al-Ansari]] had a reinforcing effect on deepening the teachings of Sayyid 'Ali Shushtari in the heart of Husayn Quli Hamadani. Having a great understanding of rational teachings and [[jurisprudence]], Mulla Husayn Quli promoted his teacher's conduct so much that a new educational school was formed after him in [[Najaf]].
